On a side note, I also have original CD's of the RH 6.2 installation (binary 
and source), which was readable. The iso image I created from the CD has the 
correct hash.

However, the damn thing fails to install in a virtual machine. I use 
VirtualBox, but have tried EQMU and VMware as well, with the same results. The 
anaconda installer bombs out with a traceback in the middle of the 
installation, each time in a different place. Sometimes it almost gets to the 
end, but it never installed completely.

I am puzlled by what might be wrong, since I used to install that distro 
successfully  back in the day on physical hardware. I tried to do a minimal 
install (hoping to avoid the traceback), tweaked the installation parameters 
(partitions, choice of packages, etc.), all to no effect. I also tried tweaking 
the vm specs to look more like typical hardware back then, without success. 
Google didn't help either.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Best, :-)
Marko
